What do you do when you're scared but currently safe? We're having a flashback and some of my younger parts a very scared right now. We're currently implementing lots of self soothing type things like deep pressure therapy, heating pad, blankies, etc. Still scared.

I've been trying for months to get help and I'm in agony. I would rather die than keep doing this over and over dead end after dead end. I can't keep doing this but somehow I still manage to keep going. The pain is unbearable, though. I have 3 more tries and then I have no more options. This...

I've exhausted my list of insurance referrals and now I may have to turn to out of network providers. I don't trust the "Psychology Today" search engine because it says that my (current) therapist is a trauma therapist when they are not. How do I find a trauma therapist nearby that isn't into...

Someone I know mentioned that survivors are more likely to watch shows like SVU because it's like watching the trauma happening to someone else, someone other than them. I wonder how many of us watch this show (or similar shows) for similar reasons? For me it's the only thing that keeps my...

Anyone been to SP TDU recently? There's no guarantee that I'll get in but my therapist thinks it's likely. I'd like to hear about what it's like when you arrive, what the place is like, how it runs, what weekends are like, how they handle things like iPods or if you can even charge the battery...
